reprojecting a raster in R error "could not find function "wkt"

Question

I've been working with raster data and the code has been working fine. Unexpectedly when reprojecting with:

reproject()  

I get

"Error in wkt(projfrom) :could not find function "wkt".

I'm using CRS arguments:

 +proj=utm +zone=5 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs  

I have also tried projectRaster() and get a similar error.

Might be an issue with the rgdal package? Anyone else getting this?

This problem should go away if you update the sp package
